| PROMPT July 3rd Describe a missed opportunity you encountered, and how things might have been different if you hadn't missed it. Mostly you can’t tell if you missed an opportunity, it could be simply a matter of a “sliding door” moment when you took a different direction. The only time we contemplated an offer or opportunity was when a friend called my husband one day and asked him if he would like to go in business with him. On further investigation the business opportunity was for us to go into the central desert in Australia and muster camels! Did you know that Australian camels are the only disease free camels in the world? Maybe if my husband had taken up the offer we would have become very rich because no one supplies camels internationally as far as I know. Camel milk sells for over $25 per litre, its supposed to be great for people with allergies. I could have been milking camels and making all sorts of beauty products. Just got to find a catchy name for my business. Oh, yes, I forgot we turned down the offer🧐 |
| PROMPT July 2nd Oh wow, this is late for me. I know most of you guys are just starting your day, but it’s bedtime for me. I thought you’d forgotten Emily. We all know the mood-ring fad of the 70’s only predicted body temperature and not necessarily mood, but what if people could actually see your emotions, like an aura of color surrounding you. Would you try to mask it, display it proudly, or something in between? The trouble with me is that I’m an open book. When I’m unhappy I show it. When I’m angry everyone knows it! The best thing is that it’s unusual for me to be in either of those states, and if I am then it’s not for long. No, my aura would be a pretty boring beige for most of the time, if there is such a colour as beige in the aura collective. I’m even tempered, not often ecstatic, just mostly content. The thing which may change my aura would be singing in the choir, this is better than any drug. When singing alone in my car, as loud as I want to, I would be diffused with whatever colour denotes pure joy. Hugs from my family, especially the little members would do it too. I certainly wouldn’t wish to hide what I was feeling. This doesn’t stop me thinking things I wouldn’t want others to know I was thinking! Imagine if we could all read each other’s minds😱 |
| PROMPT July 1st Write a letter to your parents from before your birth. Give them advice about how to raise you and give them a heads up about anything they might struggle with when you come into their lives. Hi folks, only another eighteen days and I’ll be arriving in your lives. I think I’d better give you the heads up Mum, you’d better call for the midwife early or you’re going to end up giving birth to me on your own on the floor in front of the fire. Oh, sorry to let you know I’m going to be a big baby, over ten pounds. Thanks for not calling me Penny, I know that was the other choice. I will be calling myself Sue for most of my life though, not the Susan you insisted on calling me. It’s a shame you don’t get to see me until I’m nearly one Dad. Wartime sucks. I’m going to be a shy little girl, my advice is to make me braver. I think starting me at school on my fourth birthday is a little too early. I’ll always be the youngest in the class by nearly a year, struggling to keep up. Thanks for giving me two big brothers, they will always be there for me. When I start going out with boys, dad, I need you to be more understanding and not so controlling. This will make my life so much easier and make me love you more, not less. When I leave you to go to another country, it’s not because I don’t love you or miss you. I need to find myself, the real me, not someone’s daughter or sister. You’ll enjoy Australia when you visit. Your loving daughter Sue |

! I can see how a straight backed chair was more suitable for you. Glad that you'll soon be back on your own legs.
I know, selfies are crazy! The sheer amount shared is wild- can you imagine how many they take that they don't share? 
So sorry you're dealing with all this.
